We used the Solid database at my previous company in 1998-2005+. It was a great piece of software. IBM bought it, rebranded it as an in-memory database, marketed it to telecom companies, and now it seems to be completely focused on that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SolidDB https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SolidDB
It's a shame because it was so simple to manage and "solid" as a rock. Worked really well for us and we never had performance problems with it.
